COLONIZED!

Hello Pulp Friends,

It has been a while I haven't featured some good ole Sci-Fi art here on the blog.
I am very happy to fix that by sharing this recent Var Cover I did for Chris Ryall's and Drew Moss' "THE COLONIZED", their sci-fi book that is an homage to classic '50s genere book featuring (get ready) ZOMBIES VS ALIENS! :D
FUN!
Issue 4 (with this cover) will be on sale in June from IDW.

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday, everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

HORROCTOBER: "The Living Dead"

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

As for tradition, I am dedicating the month of October to all things Horror and Creepy, hence the genius re-title of HORROCTOBER! ;)

Among the many scary things I will be sharing this month, there are also 3 limited screen print posters I have done for a couple of Horror themed shows.

First is the above poster of THE LIVING DEAD, a poster for the Bottleneck Gallery's "Can't Beat Em, Join Em: The Zombie Show", which runs from October 6th (this past Friday) to October 28th.

If you live in NYC or in the surroundings, go check out the show: lots of cool art and depiction of your favorite Zombies. The address is  Bottleneck Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York

You can pick up one of my 16x24" screen-print limited (115) THE LIVING DEAD posters at the show or online at the Bottleneck website http://www.bottleneckgallery.com/products/francesco-francavilla-the-living-dead
I should be getting my APs sometime next week and have them on sale on my store the week after.

The other two posters coming this month are yet to be announced: next one will be for MONDO's "THE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS" show in Austin (see poster below for info).

If you enjoyed my CREATURE poster I did for them, wait to see this one :)
I will share somethign as soon as I am allowed.

The third poster is something original (and limited as for the previous ones) that will be put for sale on my store later this month. Stay tuned for more info.

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday, everyone, and enjoy this scary HORROCTOBER with us :)

Cheers,
Francesco

AFTERLIFE With ARCHIE!

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

After my acclaimed set of covers for ARCHIE MEETS KISS (which contributed to my Eisner nomination as Best Cover Artist as well), I was SUPER happy to be asked to provide a new variant cover for the folks of Riverdale. :)
This time I played the old EC/Warren horror magazine cover card by having Archie face a zombified Jughead and Co.

Here's an excerpt from the Archie Comics website:
"Just when you thought it was safe to stroll through the Riverdale cemetery at night… AOL’s Comics Alliance unveiled the variant cover of Life with Archie #23 where Archie encounters his undead friends, courtesy of Archie Meets KISS cover artist Francesco Francavilla, who lends his talents to Archie once again. No stranger to giving Riverdale a spooky facelift, this latest effort from Francavilla further cements Archie’s flexibility in limitless story possibilities.
While the story itself contains no sign of zombies, it serves as a good indicator of more stunning covers to come that’ll keep readers on their toes. When it comes to Archie Comics, expect the unexpected."

I would like to add that my foray in the ARCHIE world is not over yet ;)

Have a wonderful Pulp Sunday, everyone.

Cheers,
Francesco
